A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I have some savings. If you want them, sir, I'll offer you all my spirit stones, gems, weapons, and equipment!"

He pointed to his own storage ring, then to the storage rings of the other three dead bishops: "All the money I made from selling Bliss Pills is in here."

Chen Yang collected all the storage rings, glanced at them casually, and his heart started pounding with excitement.

Sure enough, these bastards are rolling in money! Just their spirit stones alone are probably worth tens of millions! When they break them up and count them carefully later, the number will only be more.

Not long after arriving in Europe, the problem of the shortage of spirit stones was solved. This trip was definitely worth it.

Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle. He was already thinking about the altar in Balin City and immediately decided to set off for Balin City.

At this moment, Eliza stepped forward, stared at Wang Qingming, and asked coldly, "Is it true that your Holy Fire Cult has found someone to replace Queen Eliza?"

Wang Qingming shook his head, looked at Elizabeth, and said with a forced smile, "Beautiful lady, I'm so sorry, I really can't answer this question. My rank is too low, and I truly don't know the inside story..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yang stepped forward and brought his sword down.

"Sizzle—"

A flash of cold light, and blood splattered.

The sword's edge pointed diagonally at the ground, and drops of blood slid down the blade, dripping onto the charred church floor tiles.

Chen Yang withdrew his spiritual power, turned to look at Elizabeth, who was still angry, and said calmly, "Elizabeth, there's no need to interrogate him. Once we get to Saint Delhi, find that imposter queen, and ask him directly. There's no rush to go to the capital now; let's go to Bahrain City first."

Eliza was taken aback by his words and looked at him with confusion: "There's also a sacred fire altar in Bahrain City, and the guards are definitely much tighter and more dangerous than those in Lunblack Castle. Are we really going to Bahrain City first?"

"Of course." Chen Yang smiled and said confidently, "The Sacred Fire Altar is a valuable item to me. There's no reason not to accept a treasure offered to me."

Eliza, seeing his confident demeanor, sighed softly, suppressing her worries, and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll take you. Bahrain City was originally the second largest city in our European country, with a huge number of cultivators. Now that it has been infiltrated by the Holy Fire Cult for so long, the situation is probably not optimistic. As for the capital, Saint Delhi... I don't even dare to think about what it's like inside."

She said no more and simply followed Chen Yang's arrangements.

More than twenty people, carrying a wagon loaded with demonic beasts, turned around and sped towards Balin City.

Lunheibao and Baling City are thousands of miles apart, which is not far at all for this group of cultivators, whose minimum level is the late stage of the Divine Power Realm. The group used their respective abilities to fly through the air, traveling at lightning speed, heading towards the second largest city in Europe.

That evening, Chen Yang, along with Elizabeth, Liu Qingxia, and more than twenty others, landed more than twenty kilometers outside Bahrain.

Bahrain is a large city, and its true nature is unknown. The group did not rush into the city, but planned to rest outside the city for one night and explore the situation before taking any action.

The campfire crackled and popped as the group sat around it talking. Suddenly, a muffled thud came from the direction of Bahrain City ahead.

"boom!"

Thick, inky black fog burst open without warning, instantly obscuring half the sky. The black fog surged and roared, and within it, countless ferocious and terrifying demons were faintly visible, writhing and howling, exuding an overwhelming aura of ferocity.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all stood up and looked over.

Within the black mist, a colossal black python with nine hideous heads slithered about, its tongue flicking out a foul, black aura; a gigantic beast blotted out the sky, its gaping maw seemingly capable of swallowing half a city; a giant octopus covered in tentacles swung its arms, corroding even the air in its wake; and three ogres stood in the mist, emitting eerie, grotesque cackling laughs that sent chills down one's spine.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Everyone around them tensed instantly, as if facing a formidable enemy. The location where these demons had appeared was none other than the city of Balin. The journey during the day had been peaceful and uneventful, showing no signs of anything amiss, but now, having just stopped to rest, the city seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

"These demons are incredibly powerful; they are definitely not something an ordinary cultivator at the Divine Power Realm can handle." Yang Hongyuan's voice tightened. He had traveled extensively and seen a great deal, but he had never seen such terrifying creatures in the Central Continent. "I've lived this long, and I've never heard of such monsters in Europe."

Liu Qingxia took half a step forward, her body faintly glowing with a reddish light, and whispered to Chen Yang, "That black mist is very strange. I can't see what's inside clearly; it doesn't seem to be alive."

"Maybe... we shouldn't go into Baling City." Yang Hongyuan swallowed hard, his face showing apprehension. "Judging from this situation, the people in the city have probably already become food for these monsters. Going in would just be throwing our lives away."

Eliza clutched the hem of her dress tightly, her face pale, but she still bit her lip and shook her head: "I still want to go in and see. After all, this is the second largest city in Europe. Is it really that not a single living person is left, and it has become a complete lair for these monsters?"

Seeing everyone looking worried and anxious, Chen Yang suddenly burst into laughter.

He waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Don't panic. All those fancy things in the black fog are just a smokescreen set up by others. Am I right, my friend hiding in the shadows?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang casually waved his hand, and a blazing fire dragon roared out, carrying a scorching wave of air, and crashed straight towards the earthen slope a hundred meters away to the right!

"boom--!"

The deafening roar shook the ground, sending soil and rocks flying and dust billowing into the air. The fire dragon smashed a crater several meters deep into the earthen slope.

As the firelight faded, an old man in a gray robe crawled out of the pit, his face covered in soot. He stared at Chen Yang in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He thought he had hidden himself extremely well and concealed his aura to the extreme, so how could someone have seen through him at a glance?

Chen Yang waved to him and laughed, "Stop hiding, come over and let's talk. This spectacle of demons dancing wildly in the skies above Balin City, that must have been your doing, right?"

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, the old man in the gray robe could only dust himself off and walk dejectedly to the crowd.

Chen Yang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Did you set up this black mist illusion array by yourself, or did you have accomplices? What is the purpose of setting up such a large array?"

"It was arranged by me and a few friends." The old man nodded hurriedly, not daring to hide anything. "Gentlemen, you don't seem to be members of the Holy Fire Cult, nor have you been bewitched by them. But once you enter Baling City, you will definitely be arrested as heretics, locked in the church, and forced to participate in the Holy Fire worship."

His tone was urgent and his face was sincere: "Once you participate in that worship, you will slowly become a walking corpse, with no thoughts of your own, and you will have no way to escape! We set up this illusion to scare away outside cultivators, and also to save your lives."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang showed no fear; instead, he burst into laughter. He looked up at the city of Balin shrouded in black mist, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Now that you mention it, I have no choice but to go into Balin. This place sounds incredibly interesting!"
